To all of you mobile climbers I would really think about investing in these. Some stands I walk over a mile to get to. With my summits factory straps it gets hard. After I purchased this I'm not fatigued or afraid to walk further. It takes all the weight off your shoulders and places them on your hips like a hiking pack.

the problem I see with it is that after several uses, the moisture from my sweat will accumulate on that back pad.

STINKY!!!

I looked at this at bass pro yesterday and think I will buy one. I am the same way with walking a mile or more in and the standard summit straps don't cut it, even on the light open shot I have.

That's no problem at all. Each point to the stand has a buckle. There's 8 buckles and all you have to do is snap them off and throw it in the washer. You can get it off in less than 10 seconds.

It's made by Game plan and it's called Treestand transport system. You can get Em at bass pro and they run about $60
 
I will have one of those.

The ONLY complaint I have ever had with my Summit is the carry straps.
Seems like if they are smart enough to build a stand that good they could figure out a better way to carry.

Thanks for sharing.

Amen to that
 
I've been using an old pack frame and attached it to my Summit climber using bungee cords. Works OK, but nowhere near ideal. Just can't get it consistent and can be noisy unhooking it from the climber. This looks like a great piece of merchandise. Hmm. I've got some funds left in the hunting budget and the wife if going out of town for a few days. Perfect timing.
 
You can buy another pack of 8 buckles if u have another stand and if u want to leave the stand in the woods unhook the harnesss and rehook it to your extra stand. If u have a summit make sure your buckles are placed exactly where the ones in the pic are placed. I went through 3yrs and 5 harnesses before I realized I was putting it on wrong and putting to much stress on the waist pad and ripping it in the back. No it works flawlessly.
 
I have been using this back-pack frame for nearly 30 years. Weighs nearly nothing. I use nylon cord to tie stuff to it.

It looks great and looks very comfortable. I see two things I don't like personally. 1) as 102 said, my back sweats like a mule, 2) that's a little too much plastic for me (buckles). If there is a chance for stuff clanging around, I will be the first to do it. Several years ago, I cut as much of that stuff out as I can. I do put tape on all my plastic stiff to silence a little, which I guess I could do for all 8 buckles :) . Would be great for my hour hikes in LBL for sure! There are times and places for just about everything
 
I've been using something VERY SIMILAR to that from Lone Wolf for years. Like most ideas, I've not found it as good as it sounded initially, but it does make the stand a little easier to carry.

You all have pretty much covered the features, so let me share a few "cons" that I believe will apply to this one same as the Lone Wolf.

1) It does add a little weight. Even 2 lbs is 2 more pounds.

2) What are you going to do with it while you're hunting? This is an ADDITIONAL item you're now carrying, and it has a fairly large "footprint". I don't like to leave it on the ground, don't like to leave it attached to the stand, and don't like it in the tree with me. Choose one.

3) You'll probably remove any other straps you had on a stand you're carrying. Then, you'll NEED this contraption to transport the stand. If you leave the stand in the woods, will you feel comfortable leaving this with it? If you're like me, sometimes you'll forget to bring it back, or you'll decide to move a stand when you don't have it with you.

I go back and forth between preferring to use or not to use.
 
Agreed, Poser. As soon as I get back to our cabin from hunting, and before going inside (boots), I hang everything up outside....clothes, pack, and everything. As soon as I get there on Fridays, before I go inside, I hang everything up outside. A lot of near naked walking around from me until I grab some sweat pants :D . With the backpack, the scent factor could be extinguished, but all that plastic is something I still don't like

that dude in the bottom picture is going to be pissed off when he realizes he didnt bring any arrows
 
There's not one piece of plastic exposed. This harness doesn't make any noise. I repeat. This harness has no moving parts to make any noise. I take mine off bout every 7-10 days and wash it and hang dry it. It's just as quick to put back on as is it to take off. If the material tears it's your fault because it wasn't positioned right. Somebody asked what to do with it when you climb up. I got an idea if u don't want to keep it on. Take it back to the truck then come back. Theirs 6 of us that has Em and all keep theirs on their platform while they hunt. Theirs no need to take it off.
 
I use one with my summit goliath and man does it make a difference. Getting the weight off the shoulders and onto the hips far outweighs any negatives this thing poses. You do have to take it off since on the summit it is attached to the top, but like was mentioned the clasps are covered with neoprene and quiet.
 
I have this product and others like it. I just got a new solution from Muddy that looks promising, but I haven't tried it yet. They all have their pluses and minuses. I'm thinking about making a short video that shows these solutions in use. I think it could help other public land hunters.

Also, the Gameplan Gear TTS shown in the pictures can be had for $45. The $60 price at Bass Pro is a rip.

Please tell me where I can get one for 45?
I think I will try one.

I like all the pros and cons but I am willing to sacrifice for some comfort.
